1987 325i convertible, headlight problems

Hi,

I recently purchased pretty nice looking 1987 BMW 325i convertible. This vehicle has many problems, but I am determined to take care of them.
Well, I bought it at an auction and it only had the bright lights working on one side. No low beams at all.
So I just replaced both of the low beams and one high beam. Well , now the high beams work on both sides , but No low beams ! I checked the fuses , that only got both the high beams working. Any suggestions , that hopefully won't cost a ton of money ?

I will be buying a repair guide. The car did not come with the owners manual , so I have ordered one for $40 . Ouch.

Any way , I will try to take a picture of this beautiful convertible and post it.

Here is what else it needs : It is like a dirty laundry list
New Radiator $325 includes labor
New Fuel Sender about $70 plus labor
Guibo (Drive Shaft Flex Disc) $40 plus labor
Valve clearance adjustment $?? , valve cover gasket $20
Needs new leather drivers seat (got one for $233 used but nice)
Fender $117, painted and put on +$150 ?
Hood Strut $12
Blower Motor $35 plus labor

But I feel most important it needs the Headlights WORKING.
It drives fine now.
Any ideas?
If anyone seems interested in the progress of this vehicle I will update this thread.
After I am done fixing it up , I will sell it for about $4000.

Hey Murphystreet . . .

I would like to hear about the progress. Sorry can't help about the headlights. :disappoin

Check the Low-Beam relay (K-4). If you've replaced both bulbs and the fuse is good, most likely the relay coil has failed.
:smokin:

I just ran a Car-fax on this vehicle. It has a Salvage Title AND Odometer ROLLBACK !!
I am taking this vehicle back to the auction and will have my purchase price refunded.
I put a little more than $200 into this car already, so I hope the company that sold it will reimburse either some or hopefully all of that money.
If not , possible small claims court, and possible loss of reputation.
This company is based in Akron Ohio, the heart of the auto industry in Ohio.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
On to more challenges....
